Praise for Three-String Ukulele:

​Three-String Ukulele is uproarious. And frisky. And slyly alive. These poems weave through wordplay and somersault through the wonder and surprise of language and life. MacLean has mastered the serenade with sidewalk chalk. He drags you onto the dance floor, dazzles with wit and insight and leaves you keeled over begging for more. This is a fresh and funny collection.

Full of desire, wordplay, and grapefruit sunsets, the poems in Luke MacLean’s Three-String Ukulele turn the stuff of everyday experience into an allusive music that’s perfect for the skate park or just sitting on the stoop with your friends, watching the world roll by.

Excerpt: "Flat Nosed Skateboards, Appetite for Destruction​"

Forever backtracking, a push cylinder lawnmower unearths a once-forgotten treasureand the rejuvenation of a time-weathered boy. Recalling the rainbow thrownover the well-struck barnand the subsequent despair in the displacementof a paper-route-fundedmail-order ninja star,now coarse to the touch after 20 Canadian winters,he slipped the summer of ‘87into his back pocketand continued to cut the grass.
